How Do You Make A Tree Porcupine Costume?
Tree porcupines, or porcupines from the genera Coendou and Sphiggurus, are medium-sized rodents with long, prehensile tails. They live primarily in lowland forests in Mexico and Brazil. If your child needs to be a tree porcupine in the school play, or you want a Halloween costume that sends the message that you are not open to meeting new people, go to the craft store and party store to pick up a few inexpensive items. Making a tree porcupine costume requires only minimal sewing skills and a little patience for tedious work. Make a loose tunic out of burlap. Use two yards for an average adult or one for a child. Fold the burlap in half the long way, and cut a head-sized hole in the middle. Put the burlap on the costume-wearer to decide where the side seams should be. The tunic should fit loosely, because it will be difficult to get on and off if it is form-fitting. Mark the locations of the seams, take off the burlap and start sewing up the sides.
